Qato Capital Information

Qato Capital is an Australian based alternative funds management group backed by single family office, Larkfield Funds Management. The Market Neutral Long/Short Fund is managed via an objective, consistent and replicable process utilising Qato Capital’s proprietary ‘Q-Score’ methodology. The Q-Score process is fundamentally based evaluating improving and deteriorating fundamentals within each business from a variety of financial metrics, such as valuation, growth, risk, quality, earnings & price. The Fund targets a net market exposure of 0% to hedge broader market risks through 30 S&P/ASX-100 positions (15 long & 15 short equally-weighted positions). Historically, the Fund has been uncorrelated to major asset classes and a negative beta to equity markets. Qato Capital’s process is entirely systematic – stock selection and risk management are all employed in a rules based approach. The Market Neutral Long/Short Fund employs no financial leverage/gearing, no derivatives and no financial products to imitate leverage.
